In my country, the government also believes that Bitcoin is a gambling game and a means of getting rich quickly and that is why they stopped trading in Nigeria even with this it doesn't stop people who have been into it to sell off their coin or their investment.
each country obviously has very different policies [including your country and mine] to determine whether bitcoin is a gambling game or not !! because the state must also play an active role in what can prevent its citizens from carrying out their own policies wrongly, so the role of the state is needed in every issue such as the presence of bitcoin and the like in due time. it's just a matter of waiting for the momentum for acceptance, which may be carried out in stages before being fully recognized.
